Thanks for the advice!
Currently I have a radio shack iron, and was looking for something nicer.
It did work pretty good until the tip got superdeformed, lol.
My biggest issue with looking online for the Hakko has been trying to figure out if it comes w/ the small, medium, or large iron. I think I was looking at the 936-12...with the medium sized iron. The small one looked limited tip-wise.
loegan43: never thought to look at fry's, then again we don't have them around here:P
TheBakachan: That Aoyue looks pretty interesting, lots of stuff for not really all that expensive considering all the stuff it has. I forget where I saw that brand mentioned before.
Looks like I got more thinkin to do!
Amazon is always worth a browse as well. I've bought a lot of my soldering setup from there of recent. I picked up a new Weller station in August when it was about 30% off and free shipping. So it's always worth a look to see if something you have your eye on might be more affordable there.
